NimbostratusNot sure if IRULE will apply
We currently have an HTTPS virtual server pointing at one server. All of the authentication and SSL termination is done on the server end, the BIGIP just routes it to the server.
I am trying to make a web service, on port 2581, available on another server using the same virtual server. Since the BIGIP is passing the SSL connection through, IRULES do not want to work.
When I tried with HTTP I was able to create a VS that used port 2581 and direct it to the pool containing that node and port.
Does anyone know of an alternate solution?
I have to use this VS because the IP is registered with DNS and it vital for some of our users to be able to access our application.
THanks
Andy_Herrman_22Does the current virtual server handle multiple ports? You can create virtual servers for specific ports, so one VS for port 443 (or whatever port you use) for the current stuff, then another on port 2581 for the new webservice.
Mike_Rausch_628I can create a VS that uses port 2581 but it will be HTTP not HTTPS.
I need to make the webservice call using HTTPS://www.something.com/webservice
I have a VS that uses HTTPS://www.something.com but it has a pool of servers that are load balancing an application assigned to it.- Andy_Herrman_22What would cause it to be HTTP instead of HTTPS?
People connecting to it would have to use:
https://www.something.com:2581/
but other than that you should be able to set it up just like any other HTTPS vip. - Mike_Rausch_628I didnt think that you could set up a VS that used 2581 and then connect to it using HTTPS. I tried and it worked however... thanks I am new to this.
